Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today (Sunday) harshly attacked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, following her directive to postpone the completion of the tender for construction in the E1 area in Ma'ale Adumim until after the elections. In a letter he sent to the Attorney General, Smotrich claimed that this is a proper tender process that began long before the election period, and demanded the immediate cancellation of the directive. During a tour in Judea and Samaria, Smotrich accused Baharav-Miara of interfering in the election campaign and said that she "works for Gadi Eisenkot," who, according to him, announced he would stop construction to allow the establishment of a Palestinian state. Smotrich also appealed to the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, demanding that he ensure the Attorney General does not become an active player in the campaign. The article quotes only Smotrich's statements, with no response from the Attorney General or Eisenkot.
